diff lighting diff water makes a huge difference in zoas
kinda crazy actually.

Testing - possible switch to china LEDS.

Here's my 155w led fixture that I used  on my frag tank and now on my nano ,
I'm trying to see if I can make this work if I buy 3 of these fixtures for my display.
I want to cut down on power costs and be able to have only rb on as that looks fantastic

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Isbthat full power brandon?

 

[benzzz]

I think 3 of these would be enough. the one looks to be doing a good job on that third of the tank

 

[Poseidon]

yea thats at full power reefer
and benzz thats what i was thinking too, but im going to test it on each section of the tank for an hr or so and see how to corals reactor and open up etc... i know several reefers use diff versions of the similar light and have success with lps and easy sps which is what i have, i just dont want to comprise any zoa growth ...

 

[Poseidon]

I should also note the ones I'm looking at are 165w and this one is only 120w

Very interested in your progress with the LED China fixtures..
I am considering these as replacement of my brand new T5 fixture    as I really miss the shimmer of MH, and really really like the blue cast from LED blue lights.

Please keep updated as to how this goes for you....

Oh, and what fixture is this??  Evergrow??

 

[reeferkeeper420]

I think the zoas might need to be moved up, when ive brought home  zoa frags from a led lit tabk they didnt do the best when first putting them in, i needed to shade them for a little bit, but it mught be different vice versa.

Definitely have to acclimate the corals to light no matter which way you go. Poseidon should be good for testing and should have great results. I have used older non dimmable, non full spectrum china LED for a year. My pink tip birdsnest and sour apple are doing awesome now that my water parameters are in check. Zoas are growing like mad. Redcap wont stop growing. The growth is not as good as mh with these basic china led obviously, but the cost savings in hydro and bulb replacement far out ways that for me. Plus I am sure the new full spectrum will do even better. I had better growth with full spectrum and my next build will be exactly that.

 

[sunnykita]

can't beat the price of those Brandon !

mh is for the rich and famous now.

If ur planning to go with the Chinese LED fixture. Try  to get the 165w or the 240w.

Yea the link is 165w, and I've seen a couple on you tube and they look phenomenal.

 

[reeferkeeper420]

If you go with these let me know how they work i might go with two of them on my 75 before everythig gets to mature... i like the shimmer they give and lower costs are great to.
